The conveyor lines in ASRS

In automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), there are many types of conveyor lines used for the transportation and distribution of materials. Here are several common conveyor line types:

Chain conveyor: A chain conveyor transports materials from one location to another through a series of transport plates connected to chains. This type of conveyor line is suitable for carrying heavy materials and can be transported on straight and curved paths.

Roller conveyor: The roller conveyor line includes a series of transport plates mounted on wheels, which transport materials through the rolling of the wheels. This type of conveyor line is suitable for carrying lighter materials and can run on both straight and curved paths.

Magnetic conveyor: Magnetic conveyor uses magnetic force to transport materials to the target location. Magnetic materials are installed on the transport plate, and materials can be moved through the adsorption and release of magnetic fields. This conveyor line is suitable for flat work surfaces and can transport materials horizontally or at an incline.

Belt conveyor: Belt conveyor uses a continuous conveyor belt to transport materials from one location to another. This type of conveyor line is suitable for carrying various types of materials and can run on both horizontal and inclined paths.

Rotary conveyor: The rotary conveyor line adopts a spiral structure to transport materials from low to high or from high to low. This conveyor line saves space and is suitable for vertical material transportation.

These are just some of the common conveyor line types, and ASRS system designs may incorporate a variety of conveyor lines to meet specific material handling needs. The specific type of conveyor line used depends on the nature, weight, size of the material and the requirements of the system.
